Protests Continue Over Indian Consulate's Visit to Toronto Hindu Temple Despite Court Injunction

Sikhs for Justice held a demonstration near the temple, complying with a court order that restricted protests within 100 meters during consular services.

  • The Lakshmi Narayan Mandir in Scarborough hosted Indian consular officials to assist seniors with pension-related documentation.
  • Sikhs for Justice, advocating for an independent Sikh state, protested 100 meters away from the temple to comply with a recent court injunction.
  • The court order was issued to prevent protests from disrupting consular services and to ensure the safety of attendees and worshippers.
  • Tensions between Indian and Sikh communities in Canada have escalated following allegations of Indian government involvement in attacks on Canadian Sikhs, which India denies.
  • The protest concluded without incident, contrasting with previous violent clashes at similar events in the Greater Toronto Area earlier this year.
